Every smile you give is
A hundred times returned.
And every word of kindness is
Eternal kindness earned.
And from first the baby crawls,
To grave’s a steady climb.
But don’t despair for all’s a spree
In meter and in rhyme.

“Where were we when? Where to from now?
And when and where convene?”
“Well… Heretofore, theretothen and
Everywhen in between.”

The Feather Coat
It was not magic,
The feather coat.
The pockets were empty,
But the lining was deceptive
And stitched with secrets.
It was not magic,
The feather coat.
But it was always
Just the right amount of warm.
The Good In Bye
I always wanted it to be
Better
But now it’s gone
And better doesn’t matter
Because now the pain and joy
Are perfect
Goodbye Note
For platitude: no latitude;
My penchant is for trenchant.
So, gratuitous with gratitude,
I’ll say, at least you’re sentient.

BOB, A WORD
Here’s a word, its name is Bob
It wants to make good friends
Bob hopes you like how he begins
The same way he b-ends
AN ENJOYABLE OF TREATIES (WITH CONSEQUENCES)
Krutherlumps with creamycrumb
And buddlebuns au glubby
Swuzzle down with wizzlefizz
And end up hap and flubby
I HAVE A PAIR OF MITTENS
I have a pair of mittens
I keep them in a drawer
With silky thumbles, handywicks,
And many glovins more.
When midnight enters at the stroke
Of fourteen (in base eight)
The mittens up and walk away
Ain’t that pretty great?
First Draft Ecclesiastes
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time called 9:47 AM, a time called 9:47 PM
